Other - Cultures & Groups - August 2007

just thought I would share this here.

Joe Smith started the day early having set his alarm clock (MADE IN JAPAN )for 6am. While his coffeepot ( MADE IN CHINA ) was perking, he shaved with his electric razor ( MADE IN HONG KONG ). He put on a dress shirt ( MADE IN SRI LANKA ), designer jeans ( MADE IN SINGAPORE ) and
>tennis shoes ( MADE IN KOREA ). After cooking his breakfast in his new electric skillet (MADE IN INDIA ) he sat down with his calculator (
MADE IN MEXICO ) to see how much he could spend today. After setting his watch (MADE IN TAIWAN ) to the radio (MADE IN INDIA ) he got in his car ( MADE IN GERMANY ) filled it with GAS from Saudi Arabia and continued his search for a good paying AMERICAN JOB . At the end of yet another
discouraging and fruitless day checking his Computer (Made In Malaysi a), Joe decided to relax for a while.
He put on his sandals (MADE IN BRAZIL ) poured himself a glass of wine
(MADE IN FRANCE.! ) and turned on his TV (MADE IN INDONESIA )

These kinds of people are just plain weird. They can't stay in the sun or they burn (like Dracula). They also age much slower and can appear much longer than they really are (like Dracula). The greeneyed ones can even defy physics and fly throughout the air and are the source of most succubus attacks on sleeping men. These Irish and Scottish people just need to know when to stop messing with us humans!

I need help understanding.... when people call people that are from Brazil or countries like that ''Afro-Brazlian'' is it ike the same thing saying ''African-American'' meaning they are Brazilian but have African Descent... it's so confusing.. Because I was reading about Hugo Chavez the President of Venezuela and he classifies himself as Afro-Venezuelan?

I really hope this doesn't offend anyone, because that is not the intention at all:

Not to sound narcisistic, but people tell me that I am pretty all the time, and I know I am an attractive woman. But I have found that white guys always feel the need to say "You're the prettiest BLACK girl I've ever seen" or "you're one of the hottest black girl ever". I have even heard that from white women.

Why do I have to be pretty for a "black girl"? Why can't I just be a pretty girl? What is it with white guys and the need to categorize beauty??

I'm not just asking about religious folks who are trying to get other people to join their flock. The question refers to any person who spends time and energy trying to get other people to switch from their strongly held beliefs (or opinions) to something different under the premise that theirs is "the right way". I would appreciate it if those who answered were serious and thoughtful, although response from all is encouraged. Thanks!

Is this an ethnic thing? Like so many other aspects of culture [I suspect] blacks did it first, then whites were soon to follow. What is going on here?

I grew up very poor, near Oakland. A lot of brothers lived in my community. But, only about three dozen graduated highshool with me. Most of thje rest were white and Asian. Why?
I went to college near Oakland before I ran out of money, and moved to Phoenix. Very few brothers were in any of my classes. From the looks of things, there are very few in college here as well.
I know many black men that are IT professionals, dentitsts, software developers, managers, and so on. They all have a few things in common; Not a one of them speak ‘slap’ like, ‘Who you be’, ‘whas is up’, ‘were it be’. None of them wear hats backward. None of them walk around wearing ther pants hanging down. They all act professional.
I can’t even remember the last time someone made a racial statement to me. Why is that? Maybe that is because I am a positive person whom does not act ‘ghetto’.

Is it failure of teachers and academicians?
Is it failure of leadership and governance?
or any other reason

I dont get it, if a white women with blond hair and blue eyes interbreeds with a Black, then they will have babies with black skin, black eyes, and black curly hair that only looks good in braids or shaved off.
The child will look nothing at all like the white women, it wont have strait blond hair, or blue eyes or whites skin, and their is a 99% chance than none of her genetic traits will surfece in her childs future offspring, they will be lost forever

So how is it they get the "best of both worlds" it sounds like a pipe dream to me.

Also biracial children have lower IQs then whites
Avg. IQ of a white - 100
biracial - 89
black - 85

Okay I am annoyed at the fact people are called racist for the littlest things nowadays. I mean if i see someone with Asian eyes and I say they look Asian because of their eyes I become a racist. If I say someone is shaped like a black girl because of maybe the size of her buns or the structure of her back I become racist. How is that racist? Some people look black. Some people look white. Some look Asian. I am not putting any race down. Yes, they are generalizations but still. If i saw a black person with blue eyes and light curly hair the person most likely has a european ancestor or parent. Do you get what i am saying?
